Dopo una lunghissima assenza da queste pagine, eccomi qui di ritorno, con la lista dei miei dischi preferiti del 2011, quantomeno tra quelli che ho ascoltato.

[Photos by acidjack] Thrill Jockey's band page for Arbouretum describes them as a "taper's dream", and they could well be right about that. With open song structures, a hard-rocking, Southern-informed psych-rock sound an solid dose of showmanship, the band comes off a bit like an updated, thinking man's version of bands like CCR and Lynyrd Skynyrd, and they play a hell of a good show that doesn't belie that comparison. The band took the stage behind a veil of smoke, launching into a brief psychedelic intro before hitting full stride on "False Spring" [...]
I wrote about the Zen Frisbee Halloween show featuring Shit Horse for this week's Indy. In case you don't see it, here's the gist: Shit Horse put on a great show at Hopscotch despite technical difficulties, and you should go see them Monday night at Local 506 . Here are some other shows you should check out this week (assuming, of course, that you're not going to be in Asheville for Moogfest this weekend). Thursday [...]

Arbouretum - Destroying To Save Buy US: Buy UK:
There's hard heavy blues that's jam-based, with dark and murky exploration into psychedelia, and then there's tight, fast-paced blues. We got both of them today. One is like Led Zeppelin 1, the other is like "In Through the Out Door." And I love 'em both, for different reasons. Let's start with the more accessible of the two. Heavy Glow 's latest collection of three-to-five minute singles (and every song on the album could be a single) features blues hooks, great vocals, raw production, and choruses like: "You want all my money/I want all [...]

Little known fact about Bowlegs: we all used to be highwaymen. Well, we say highwaymen, but a more accurate description might be lollipop men. Perhaps we didn't stage as many daring robberies of the rich, but we still knew how to stop traffic when we had to. That's why we have a certain affinity with Arbouretum's track 'Highwayman'. It strikes a chord and reminds us of the good times. The track is taken from the Baltimore band's album, 'The Gathering', which is out now. Download the track here: 'Highwayman'
Tubelord have unveiled an epic new video for their track 'Bazel', which is taken from the band's 2010 Tezcatlipoca EP. The band have also announced details of their second album - the follow up to their 2009 release Our First American Friends - along with a campaign to help fund its recording in return for a deluxe package once the album is complete.

If you're in the Baltimore or surrounding areas tonight, there's no place you should be but the 2640 Space where after a long long time Celebration will be releasing their new album Hello... [go to the website to read the rest of the article, download mp3s and more]
Arbouretum has traded in their folk-ridden tunes for a heavier, fuzzier sound. Creating a vintage 70s flashback, the Baltimore-based clan has taken on a deeper voice and heavier tone in their newest release, The Gathering , from Thrill Jockey. Inspired by "The Red Book" by Carl Jung, Arbouretum's newest release takes lyricism to a whole new level. The group prides itself on creating something unique without the common structured flow of a song. Seeming almost as lengthy poems, each song tells an in-depth story that can only be recognized after continuous listening. In the opening song [...]
[Happy March. It's Justin Bieber's birthday ... whoever he is ...] Tonight's bowl of ear candy: ► Baltimore psych-rockers Arbouretum (that's their video for "Destroying to Save," above) visit the Satellite on a night featuring an opening set by L.A.'s Imaad Wasif . ► Joseph Arthur winds up his music/art residency at the Bootleg Theater ( Line and Circle support); the art Arthur has exhibited in the Bootleg's gallery space is well worth checking out. ► Jukebox [...]

Just catching up with The Drake . Stay tuned for another edition later this week. -ed. February may be the shortest and weather-challenged month of the year, but 20112s version has already been both long on and warm to quality releases. I'm not even sure what that means, but it somehow still feels apt in introducing the latest offerings from PJ Harvey , Telekinesis , Drive-By Truckers , Twilight Singers , Bright Eyes , Lifeguards , A Hawk and a Hacksaw , Asobi Seksu , Sonic [...]

The Gathering, Arbouretum's fourth album, was to a large extent inspired by The Red Book by Carl Jung, or more specifically, Jung's pursuit of the inner images that led to the book's writing. Dave Heumann, the singer, guitarist and main lyricist of Arbouretum, has long been a fan of experiences that surpass comprehension and describe the numinous. The narrative of "losing one's way and finding it
So much music to try to keep up with this week. I'm starting to remember why I stopped doing these posts.... Pick of the Week: Telekinesis : 12 Desperate Straight Lines (Merge) – With this record, Telekinesis should cross over to snag Death Cab For Cutie's audience. Produced by DCFC's Chris Walla, it's very well done breakup indie rock with a bit of punch. While I did like their first album, I'm surprised how much I [...]
Após a digressão mundial de 2009 que muita coisa mudou nos Arbouretum e muito boa gente não augurava nada de bom para a banda. Da mudança de lineup e um prolongado silêncio não ajudavam à causa. No entanto, após as primeiras audições do novo longa duração, de seu nome, The Gathering, podemos afirmar que o seu som é agora mais "pesado" que os registos anteriores, sem deixar de lado a construção melódica em meandro, bem tradicional nos Arbouretum. Diria mesmo que as composições são mais elaboradas, mais intricadas neste novo álbum do que nos anteriores. As mudanças verificam-se [...]
